Each voting area is shown with the three character electoral district code followed by the numeric voting area code (e.g. CHC009 is voting area 009 in the Chilliwack electoral district). The assigned voting place is identified by a standard address ID, street address, locality and building name.

The currency date is indicative of when the data was extracted. The event name and event date fields indicates which electoral event a voting area was assigned to a particular voting place.
